HIS little book, and all it holds, 
Is just a simple story of 
The daily need of every child 
For wisdom, strength, and guiding love. 
It hardly can be called a book, 
Unless our daily lives are part 
Of life's Great Book, whose pages keep 
God's record of the human Heart. 



This little book has but one aim: 

may its simple contents give 

To some young Heart a clearer sight 

Of life, and all it means to live. 

To Children and the Child-heart, then, 

1 give this little Book of Prayers. 
Love only made it mine to give; 
And love alone can make it theirs. 

THE AUTHOR.

*M sure you often wish a 
Wish, 
Which is all right to do; 
And very often things you wish 
Are apt to come to you. 

A Wish is just a sort of Prayer, 
And Prayers are Wishes too; 

So why not pray an earnest Wish 
And see it all come true? 

You have a Friend; that Friend 
is God. 

He has no greater joy 
Than granting every worthy Wish 

Of every Girl and Boy.

NEED not wait for special times 

To speak to God in prayer; 
Nor do I always have to kneel 
To feel that He is there. 
No matter what the time or place, 

I only need to be 
Just full of faith that God is near, 
And He will succor me. 



God's love for me is not alone 

In times of joy and power; 
It glows with light and comfort through 

Each darkened day or hour. 
In times of work, or thought, or play, 

Through hours of pain or care, 
God lives with constant love, and hears 

Each earnest wish and prayer.

HE day is done; dear God, may I 
Safe in Your watchful presence 
lie. 

O make Your Love to live supreme 
In every passing dream I dream. 
May Night's kind hours come and see 
How still and good a Child can be. 
Then will they leave some gifts behind 
To bless my body, heart, and mind. 

The day is done; O dear God, spread 

Your Love and Wisdom o'er my head. 
Rest for my body, heart, and mind 
In Sleep's great Kingdom I shall find. 

Good Dreams, like faithful Friends, shall 
be 

A sweet and restful help to me. 
Then shall another day bring light 
After the blessings of to-night. 

AMEN.

EAR God, Good Morning. I 
am glad 
To see another happy day. 
I know that nothing hard or sad 

Will come to take my joy away. 
I know that You are here with me 

The same as You were near all night; 
And You will help me, God, to see 
What I should do, and what is right. 

To-day I'll have some things to do. 

O may I do my very best. 
Help me to think of others, too, 

When I would rather play or rest. 
O God, please let me have some fun; 

Please love me when I work or play, 
So when night comes, and day is done, 

I'll know I've had a fine, good day.

again, 
With many things for me to do. 
Please bless my Heart and guide my 
Brain 
And make me thoughtful, strong, and

My lessons may seem dull to me, 
And study hours long and dry; 
But if You help me, then I'll see 
How fast those useful hours fly. 

O God, go forth with me to-day, 
And help my Head and guide my 
Hand; 
For You are wise and know a way 

To make me learn and understand. 
Open my Heart and Eyes to see 
How kind is every study hour; 
For each one offers Gifts to me 

Like Wisdom, Patience, Love, and 
Power.

GOD, I often fuss and fret 

When I am given things to do. 
I do not go ahead and get 
Those very simple duties through. 
I do not do my work with care, 
And I refuse to use my Head. 
My Thoughts go wandering everywhere, 
When they should help me work in- 
stead. 

God, please help my Heart to see 

How good it is to love my work. 
Please make my Hands refuse to be 

The thoughtless servants of a Shirk. 
teach me, God, that every day 

Will give me more and better fun, 
If I but work in just the way 

To get my Duties nobly done.

God, Your goodness gives me 
sight 
To see and know the Good and 
Right. 
My Heart knows what is best for me, 
And shows just what is good to see. 
So when my Eyes see lovely Things, 
It laughs and dances, smiles and sings; 
But w T hen my Eyes see what is bad, 
My Heart grows cold and dark and sad. 

So, when I see an evil sight, 

I'll shut my Eyes w T ith all my might. 
For, if my Eyes were open wide 
That evil sight would get inside. 

O dear God, help my Heart to be 

Full of the Light of Purity. 
O help me, all the days I live, 
To see and love the Sights You give.

Hearts 





EAR God, good Sounds are very 
sure 
To make my life both glad and 
pure. 
My Heart loves pleasant sounds and 

songs, 
Inside my Heart good Sound belongs. 
My Lips make words they ought to 

speak; 
My Eyes see Things they ought to seek. 
But when my Ears hear evil things, 
My Heart no longer laughs or sings. 

So, when an evil word comes near, 
I'll stop my Ears, I will not hear. 
When wicked noises come around, 
I will not listen to the sound. 
No coarse or evil sound shall be 
Allowed inside the Heart in me. 
God, make me hear the whole day long 
The Sounds that make all life a Song. 

AMEN.

O dear God, love my Lips and teach 
Them how to use the purest speech. 

God, love my Heart and make it hold 
A host of Thoughts as pure as gold. 
God, I will try when I am young 
To have the nicest kind of Tongue. 
Tongue lives behind my Lips and Teeth, 
With clean and pleasant words beneath. 
So never, never shall a word 
Of evil from my Lips be heard.

And help my Heart to keep a store

when 
I was so angry and so bad. 
You also saw poor Mother then, 

For she was very sad. 
O God, a fiery tempest came 

Into my Heart; all Good was torn 
Or scorched by Anger's cruel flame, 
And all Control was gone. 



O God, help me to see and know 

That Anger gives a chance for sin 
To fly into my Heart and sow 

Its many seeds within. 
O God, with Your good help I can 

Fight every savage Anger fit, 
And through Control, I'll be a Man 

Whose strength may conquer it.

When Reason takes no ruling part

Then, God, please give me Self-Control 

To check the burning flame within. 
stop the anger waves that roll 
And toss my Reason with their sin. 

Show me that constant Self-Control 

Is like a Helmsman, calm and sure, 
Who steers the Good Ship of my Soul 

To Heavens safe and good and pure. 
may I know that passion takes 

My Strength and Reason all away, 
While Self-Control with Reason makes 

My Strength the greater day by day.

Dear God, those evil thoughts crept in 
Like serpents telling me to sin. 
They soiled my Heart, and left a track 
All false and crooked, deep and black. 

I am ashamed to look and see 
If Mother knows the thoughts in me. 
I cannot watch her dear eyes shine 
For fear she'll see the sin in mine. 
Please make my thoughts all good and

That I have Goodness in my eyes, 
Where not one thought of evil lies.

EAR God, the Sky is blue and fair; 

The Clouds are fleecy-white. 
The Stars shine down through 
pure, pure air; 
The Moon is silver-bright. 
The Water runs as clear as glass; 

The fragrant Breezes greet 
The dewy Flowers and the Grass. 
God's World is pure and sweet. 

Dear God, where all this sweetness lives, 

I'm sure I ought to do 
Whatever makes me neat and gives 

Me lovely sweetness too. 
God loves a Child that wants to be 

All rosy, clean, and neat. 
God's lovely world is glad to see 

Its children pure and sweet.

GOD, I fought a fight to-day; 

In rage I punched and hit. 
I did not care in any way 
How much I scratched and bit. 
I snarled just like an angry beast, 

I bunted without heeding. 
I did not seem to care the least 
That I was soiled and bleeding. 

O God, I know You do not care 

Who won that beastly fight; 
But I know well that You were there 

And saw the brutal sight. 
O God, forgive me. Teach me pluck 

That looks at Courage gravely, 
And only fights when blows are struck 

Defending others bravely.

A host of sins that ever sow 
The seeds of evil things.

To be a Lady who 
Is noble just because she gives 

What's gentle, pure, and true.

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: 
What can man do unto me? 

Psalm 118— Verse 6. 



HEN evil forces seem arrayed 

Against my Heart to-day, 
I need not be the least afraid, 



Or doubt in any way. 
No evil force can injure me. 

God's wisdom shall provide 
The strength to gain a victory, 

For He is on my side.

As far as the East is from the West, 
So far hath He removed our transgressions 
from us. 

Psalm 103— Verse 12. 



S there a sin that leaves a stain 

Upon my heart to-day? 
Then I will try, and try again 
To put that sin away. 
God knows when Children try and try 

To be just good, and He 
Will help me so that sin will fly 
Ten thousand miles from me.

For the Lord is a Sun and a Shield: 
The Lord will give grace and glory. 
Psalm 84— Verse 11. 




F I will keep the Love of God 

Each day within my sight, 
I shall not lack the Light to see 



What's good and plainly right. 
If I will make the Love of God 

My Shield in times of strife, 
I shall not lack a sure defense 

For all my Heart and Life. 
If I just know the Love of God 

Is present endlessly, 
The very best in all of life 

Will then be given me.

For He knoweth our frame; and remembereth 
that we are dust. 

Psalm 103— Verse 14. 

'M just a Child; I have not 
grown 
So very strong or tall. 
But what I am by God is known, 

E'en though I'm young and small. 
God constantly remembers me, 

His Love is without end. 
How strong and big a Child may be 

With such a faithful Friend! 
God turns my weakness into strength; 

With gentle hand He'll lead 
My Heart and Body on at length 
To all the growth I need.

Who can understand his errors? 
Cleanse thou me from secret faults. 
Psalm 19— Verse 12. 

OD'S love will heal my life of sin 
And make my Conscience see 
The errors and the faults within 
That often torture me. 

God's constant love is always sure 

To spread and grow until 
It makes my secret Thoughts all pure 

And guides my Heart and Will. 

I only need to feel and know 

That God is everywhere; 
Then God must live within my Heart, 

So how can sin be there?

Depart from evil, and do good; 
And dwell forever more. 

Psalm 37— Verse 27. 



□~| F I will try to go away 
— I From evil thoughts and things 
to-day, 

Before the sun has set I'll see 
How good and fine a day can be. 
If I will try to do some good, 
It shall be seen and understood 
That I have done my best to show 
A way to make more goodness grow. 
If I will try each day to live 
In such a way that I shall give 
A little Love and Help and Mirth, 
I'll bring Some Heaven down to Earth.

If any of ye lack wisdom, let him 
ask of God. 

James 1 — Verse 5. 



HOULD any doubts be in my 
human mind, 
To God my Heart will turn. 
Should any fears make Wisdom hard to 
find, 
Of God my Heart shall learn. 
Should any path of Right be hard to see, 

God's love will make it plain. 
Should any times be sad or dark to me, 

God gives me light again. 
I will not doubt; no ignorance or fear 

Shall come to cloud my way: 
For this I know, God's love is always 
near 
To help me day by day.
